In preparation for The Tech Challenge, students delve more deeply into the engineering design process in these 90-minute team-building workshops. They develop teamwork and other skills they’ll need to create an innovative solution and successful team experience, from brainstorming and presenting ideas for feedback to designing, building, testing, and innovating through failure. Students are encouraged to take risks and fail early to maximize learning, and they also learn to document their creative process through a design journal.

Do you have what it takes to be a Tech Detective? Juniors begin by sharpening their observation skills through brain challenging puzzles. Next, they learn how to obtain and analyze fingerprints from a crime scene. Finally, Juniors learn about DNA-what it is, what it does, and how it helps solve crimes. They then get to perform an experiment to extract real DNA!

Are you ready to design your own entertainment company? Juniors begin by learning about classic animation styles and then get to animate their own artwork. Next, they build prototypes of rollercoasters while learning the science behind the screams. Finally, Juniors make custom 3-D glasses and learn how to make their own 3-D images!

Science is all around us! Brownies begin by exploring the “hair-raising” properties of static electricity through everyday objects such as balloons and Ping-Pong balls. Next, they will make something bubble up using every day pantry items to inflate a balloon. Finally, Brownies will learn how science can be used to make toys by making their very own silly putty!

In this program, Cadettes will try on the many hats of a Special Agent! To begin, Cadettes will investigate the investigation techniques of a fingerprint analyst by analyzing and comparing fingerprints. Next, they will practice the art of forensic drawing by sketching a “suspect” as described by a “key witness.” Finally, Cadettes try their hands at forensic chemistry to identify an ink stain found at a crime scene.

Test Trials provide teams with the opportunity to test their device in a simulated competitive environment. During the trials, teams are allowed to test their device on an actual rig used on event day. Volunteer judges are on hand to help simulate the competition and assist in the learning process.

Due to the overwhelming demand for Test Trials, please sign up for a specific time slot to use the rigs.
Walk-ins are welcome if space permits.
